James Butler is an electrician in Holland, MA, with 4.9 stars from 59 Google ratings. His website lists electrical services, wall-mounted TVs, kitchen and bathroom remodels, new construction, electrical upgrades, fan installation and generator installation, and states 24/7 emergency service. In a recent Google review, a customer says Jim walked them through each step of getting a new service mast and was even able to speed up the process of approvals and reconnection so their outage time was minimal. Another recent review says James handled a punch list of outlets and lights to install for a remodel project, with a fair price and clean work. A recent customer says they called Jim on a Monday and he was at their home the following morning and took care of their problems. In a 2026 review, James installed the bathroom fans and the over-the-stove fan along with some other stuff. In a 2025 review, when an electrical problem shut down the pump for a customer's well, James made time to get there that day and had the water flowing. A 2025 review says Butler Eletric installed a 24kw automatic whole house generator for roughly twenty-two thousand, and another 2025 review called the electrical installation of a mini split flawless. In a 2024 review, Mr. Butler updated the wiring in the living room of a house from the mid-60's so a programmable controller could be installed, and the controller was in by the end of the day. In a 2023 review, after a storm pulled the power lines from a house, Jim came over as soon as it was safe and took care of it within a couple hours. In another 2023 review, he replaced a faulty gfi plug the same day when no lights or outlets were working in a basement. A 2023 review describes an on-demand generator install in a very small yard, where the generator and propane tank had to sit 5-10 feet away from every window and electric source; Jim hung in through several changes of planned locations and worked well with the propane installer. That 2023 review called him a one-person company and said someone who wants speedy and highly efficient service should choose a company with several staff.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from James Butler. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
Jim is communicative, efficient, easy to work with, and got the electrical work done well!
Jim was recommended to me by a friend and I see why! Now I feel comfortable passing along the recommendation myself. One thing I loved is being able to communicate directly with the same person throughout the process. No talking to one person, then another person, then a crew you’ve never met. Jim’s a great guy and was available to walk me through each step of getting a new service mast. Good work at a fair price, he was even able to speed up the process of approvals and reconnection so my outage time was minimal. Overall exactly what you want in an electrician.
Highly recommend James. He responded quickly, listened to what we needed and delivered. He is careful, detailed, friendly & offers reasonable prices. Can not recommend him enough.
Amazing electrician! Help with electrical questions that I have about my house. Definitely recommend James!
Can’t recommend Jim enough. Called him on a Monday. He was at my home the following morning, took care of our problems, and done. Very reasonable. Nice guy. Very professional.
